outcast
意味: A person who has been rejected or excluded from a social group or community; someone who does not belong.
Outcast is both a noun and an adjective describing someone expelled from or not accepted by society. 'A social outcast,' 'treated as an outcast,' and 'outcast communities' are standard collocations. Unlike 'pariah,' which implies disgrace, outcast can evoke sympathy — literature and film frequently portray outcasts as misunderstood figures. The word is common in discussions of social exclusion, homelessness, and marginalised communities. It carries emotional weight and is often used to highlight injustice.
